Miniature of Our President Shown In Doll Show

LONDON Sunderland House, Curzon street, Mayfair, has regaiied its identity it was the Doll's House, until December 20, when the wonderful exhibition and sale for the Children's Jewel Fund closed. ., .- ! It was a fairy house of dolls, a ; puppet show of war and history ard drama and art. Here were dolls reproducing in ininiaturo the personalities of Sir Douglas Haig. King Albert, Kitchner and General Horne. These dolls Were in the army section under the care of Lady (Arthur) Paget, who also had a little battlefield with its array of guns, tanks and ambulances, and its scarred trench lines. ; Lady Tree and Mrs. Oscar Asche's theatrical dolls included a gorgeous scene from "Chu Chin Chow," theatrical favorites dressed as they appear on the stage, and a seaside scent from the Isle of Wight with tiny chairs, pails and spades made by disabled soldiers. In the ballroom wero the dolls 'given by Queen Mary and Queen Alexandria; dolls which representthe Queen wearing the Order othe Garter, and Lady Henry's collection of personages. Among tbem were the King in sailor's uniform, the premier standing at the table of the House of Commons with a miniature mace; President Wilson, M. Clemenceau and Nurse Cavell in her uniform. Lady Nownes arranged the King of Spain's gallantry to the famous Duchess of Marlborough" in the presence of Queen Anne, all the furniture being copies of that in use at the time. Mrs.; Hornby Lewis had a group on the Field of the Cloth of Gold, the dresses for which were made by the Royal School of Art Needlework Clnr Fine Ntnr Thrir Hiarix A vorv tmiphin incident illus trates the patriotism of those Americans who had joined the French Foreign Legion before the United States entered the war. Not being able to fight openly under the Star Spangled Banner they procured an American flag and decided that each of them, In turn, should carry it wrapped around his breast. In this way our flag was present in all those numerous combats in which the colore of the Foreign Legion participated. Twice it was pierced by bullets and stained with the blood of wounds. Once he who carried It fell. The American volunteers searched the field and found their dead comrade, took from his body the well beloved colors, and, armed with this emblem, t'rrey went forward to new exploits, when the United States took up " the insulting defiance of Germany, these American volunteers, already veterans, took their places in their national army and presented to France this flag which so proudly they had borne through numerous battles. Oar Visit in Washington . In my last chapter I told of my wonderful trip to New York. Now I want to tell, the most wonderful part of it all, our trip to Washington. When we arrived at Washington at two: thirty-five, Mrs. G. N. Jesse met us at the station and we got into her machine and drove down the famous Pennsylvania avenue to the White House. It was one of Mrs. Wilson's afternoons at home. We saw hundreds ot carriages and automobiles driving to and from the . White House with beautifully dresesd ladies going to call on Mrs. Wilson. The White House Is a magnificent building, standing among giant trees and it occupies a city square. I saw the Congressional Library and all the famous buildings ot Washington. We then went to dinner at the Powha tan hotel; the service was wonderful. After dinner we drove back to the station. This station Is a very magnificent building. We took the evening train tor Greensboro, North Carolina. Later I will tell of Greensboro. Harrison Dille.

What lover ot poetry has not dreamed of visiting the place made immortal in song? And what eong has aroused this longing more intensely than the story ot the gentle Acadians and their Great Banishment? Many have realized this ambition, for Nova Scotia is easy to reach, and each . succeeding summer sees more hundreds making the pilgrimage to "The Acadian land, on the shores ot the Basin of Minas, Distant, secluded, still, the little village of Grand Pre." There they find the meadows, dikes and orchards of which Longefellow sang, and they try to retrace the action of the poem by using as a guide the still remaining well which the poet described as , Amenia's Dream By Grace Simcoke, R. H. 8. Amenda was a little girl about eleven years old. She was a very bright girl and very much interested in music. Amenda started taking music lessons when she was nine years old. When she had taken piano lessons for two years, she could play very well. She would practice faithfully everyday. When she was not playing the piano, she was taking care of neighbor's children; that is, in the summer time. During the winter months she attended school and received the best of grades. One night when Amenda was about fifteen years old, she had a wonderful dream. She dreamt that all the famous musicians, including Wagner, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Gluck, Beethoven and Rubenstcin were having a party at Shubert's home, which was right next to Amenda's home. About the middle of the evening Shubert came over to Amenda's house and asked her parents If Amenda couldn't come over a while and entertain them with some selections of music on the piano. - Her mother and father gladly consented to her going, because they were glad they could be of some service to these musicians. So Amenda ran up stairs to put on her best dress and to fix up her hair. She was ready in a few minutes and ran Into the parlor where Shubert was waiting, to select some of her best music. I forgot to say that Amenda also had a good voice. . Shubert escorted her to his house and introduced her as "The Little Musician.". She sang and played and the musicians enjoyed this

Will Guard the Old Willows at Grand Pre

"Farther down, on the slope of the hill, was the well with its mossgrown Bucket, fastened with iron, and near it a trough for the horses." The piece of ground . at Grand Pre on which is the well ot Evangeline, together with the old willows, has been bought by the Canadian Pacific for the purpose of preserving it for posterity. . Before he died last year, Philippe Hebert, the greatest of FrenchCanadian Bculptors, was engaged on a statue representing Evangeline leaving the land of her childhood and looking back In sorrow. Philippe Herbert was himself in Acadian and, although a perfectly happy exile in Montreal, entered into the spirit of the poem as no very much. They showed it very plainly by their wide open mouths and eyes. They were very much amazed at this wonderful little musician. Amenda was a sweet, good nafrired little girl and that helped it along. As time went on Amenda realized that it was getting late, so she bade the musicians goodbye, who asked her to come and play : for them again sometime, and Shubert escorted her safely home. She told her mother and father what a fine time she had had and went to bed very tired, but very happy, , thinking she had pleased the musicians. The next morning she awoke to find that her visit to the musicians' house bad been only a dream, but she never forgot It However, when she grew up she became a famous music teacher and was loved by all her pupils.
